A solution would be to respond to the next "Microsoft support" phone call from a foreign speaking person that will tell you that you have lots of viri on your system and to let them clean it up by remote. Should keep you busy for a while.

I responded to one of those once. I was bored.
Wasted a load of their time trying various things... Pretending not to ba able to find the Start button etc.
Then I asked them if their instructions were really relevant to the Apple Mac OS-X and told him I had been deliberately wasting his time.
Done the same recently with someone trying to sell new boiler system and also one of these 'You may be been mis sold PP INSURANCE " calls. You can ask as often as you want for them to remove your phone number from their list, and it does not work. Waste their time a few times and it is amazing how quick these nuiscance phone calls dry up.
Update: have run a collection of optimizers and regcleaners. Great progress: takes 23 minutes to boot, lost half the keyboard, screen is black & white, temp is 98 deg c, lost audio, & constant 100% disk activity. And btw, got a nice message about windows not being genuine.
But can still connect to the net, so some work still need to be done: next will be to download lots of warez and cracks, and visit illegal p* sites from Russia. That should do it.
Yep, my T is in too nice condition (usually one does not complain about that!), got to take care and keep tight control over any fun.but the advantage with a landrove si you can treat them far rougher and not worry
